By now, you've probably seen every kind of "Year-End" or "[insert name here]'s Year-in-Review" list imagineable, but this one is way more exciting than anything the mainstream media gods have to say, so listen-up. Near the end of 2015, The Deli invited artsts from every corner of New England to submit their work for our annual year-end poll. After tallying our editors' ratings for the Open Submissions stage, we're delighted to announce the results. Please note: To avoid conflicts, no local editor was allowed to vote for bands in their own scene.

The Tsunamibots Score: 7.16/10
&amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://tsunamibots.bandcamp.com/album/surfing-craze-in-the-robotic-age"&amp;amp;amp;gt;Surfing Craze in the Robotic Age by Tsunamibots&amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;gt;

Babydriver Score: 7.16/10
&amp;amp;lt;a href="http://babydriver.bandcamp.com/album/let-all-the-sun-in"&amp;amp;gt;Let All The Sun In by Babydriver&amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;gt;
Able Days Score: 7/10
&amp;lt;a href="http://abledays.bandcamp.com/track/tall"&amp;gt;tall by Able Days&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;

WHAT’S NEXT: These results conclude the first phase of the poll. We will soon unveil the artists nominated by our local jurors, and then let our readers and our writers influence the poll with their vote. After all of those votes have been taken into consideration, we'll announce the final overall winners.

The results are in from the Open Submissions stage for our New England Year End Poll for Emerging Artists. All of the submissions were ranked by Deli Editors from other scenes and the list of acts that have advanced to our Readers’/Fans’ Poll phase are below. We will also be releasing the list of nominees chosen by our local "scene expert" jurors very soon.

We would like to thank all of the talented artists who submitted. It was our largest Open Submissions pool yet, and certainly a testament to how many rad acts we have in New England.

The Deli Magazine was born in NYC's Attorney Street in 2004, in the shape of a print issue with a then unknown band on its cover, called Grizzly Bear. Ths NYC blog came in 2005, then the SF one in 2006, and then 9 more in the following years. The Deli is focused on the coverage of emerging bands and solo artists with a 100% local focus - no exceptions!
